Safety and your fireplace

A heating gas appliance does require safe handling. For this reason, we very strongly recommend children not be

allowed to touch the ﬁ replace or its controls.

Read and carefully follow all safety warnings and operating instructions contained in this manual, and follow

these important child safety precautions and recommendations:

• Parts of your Valor Fireplace become extremely

hot while in operation. The glass window tempera-

ture can exceed 500º F at full capacity.

• Do not let children touch the glass or any parts

of your ﬁ replace even after it is turned oﬀ , as the

surfaces will remain hot for some time.

• Even momentary contact with a hot glass surface

can cause a severe burn, including when the ﬁ re-

place is operating at reduced heating capacity.

• The glass window will remain hot for an extended

period of time after the ﬁ replace has been turned

oﬀ . Make sure that children do not touch the ﬁ re-

place during the cool down period.

• Children and adults should be alerted to the haz-

ards of high surface temperature and should stay

away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

• Young children should be carefully supervised

when they are in the same room as the appliance.

Toddlers, young children, and others may be sus-

ceptible to accidental contact burns.

A physical barrier is recommended if there are

at-risk individuals in the house. To restrict access

to a ﬁ replace or stove, install an adjustable safety

gate to keep toddlers, young children, and other

at-risk individuals out of the room and away from

hot surfaces.

• Keep the remote control handset out of reach of

children at all times. A wall mount storage support

is provided with your remote control handset.

• Make sure that the ﬁ replace, including the pilot

light, is completely turned oﬀ when children are

present and close supervision is not available—see

pages 9 for details.

• If the ﬁ replace is not going to be used for an ex-

tended period of time, remove the batteries from

the remote control handset and battery holder un-

der the ﬁ rebox. It is recommended that batteries

are replaced annually —see page 11 for details.

DANGER

Getting started

WARNING

Do not attempt to access the card while

the ﬁ replace is hot! Let the ﬁ replace cool

ﬁ rst before touching it!

First time operation

When operating your new ﬁreplace for the ﬁrst time,

some vapors may be released due to the burning of

curing compounds used during manufacturing. They

may cause a slight odor and could cause the ﬂames

to be the full height of the ﬁrebox, or even slightly

higher, for the ﬁrst few hours of operation.

It is also possible that these vapors could set oﬀ any

smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.

These vapors are quite normal on new ﬁreplaces.

We recommend opening a window to vent the

room. After a few hours of use, the vapors will have

disappeared and the ﬂames will be at their normal

height.

Valor automatic gas shut-oﬀ

For your safety, Valor ﬁreplaces are ﬁtted with a

ﬂame supervision device which will shut-oﬀ the gas

supply if, for any reason, the pilot ﬂame goes out.

This device incorporates a ﬁxed probe, which senses

the heat from the pilot ﬂame. If the probe is cool,

the device will prevent any gas ﬂow unless manually

lighting the pilot. See the full Fireplace and Lighting

Information card attached to the ﬁreplace or as

reproduced in Appendix A of the Installation Manual.

Locating ﬁ replace and lighting information

The Fireplace and Lighting Information is located

on a card at the bottom of the ﬁreplace, under the

ﬁrebox—see image at the right.

Depending of the front installed on your ﬁreplace the

access to the card is diﬀerent. You can:

• open the bottom panel under the screen; or,

• unhook the fret; or,

• unhook the trim with barrier screen attached.

The card contains important information on both

sides of the card. It must be left with the ﬁreplace

when you are done.

Annual service and maintenance

Caution

Label all wires prior to disconnection when

servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause

improper and dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

Cleaning your fireplace

WARNING

Risk of severe burns! Do not touch the

glass while it is hot! Let the ﬁ replace cool

ﬁ rst before cleaning it.

Remove Window

1. Release the top of the window by pulling forward

the two levers at the top corners.

2. Unscrew the two spring-loaded bolts securing the

bottom of the window.

3. Carefully lift the window away. Keep the window

and bolts in a safe place.

Cleaning your fireplace

Cleaning glass mineral deposits

A by-product of the combustion process in a gas

ﬁreplace is a mineral which can appear as a white ﬁlm

on the ceramic glass windows of your appliance.

The composition of the deposit varies depending on

location and time, and can appear intermittently.

There is no deﬁnitive solution to this issue. Various

cleaning products have been tried with varying

results. The following are recommendations only and

cannot guarantee results.

Note: Mineral deposits occur naturally and are not

covered under the Valor® warranty.

• Clean the glass regularly to avoid a buildup of ﬁ lm

from mineral. If the ﬁ lm is left for a long period of

time, it can etch the glass, making it much harder, if

not impossible, to remove.

• Never use an abrasive cleaner or ammonia-based

cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the

surface can compromise the strength of the glass.

An emulsion-type cleaner is recommended.

• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the

glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most

paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive

to ceramic glass and should be avoided. Follow all

instructions on the bottle/container.

• Our dealers have experienced good results from the

products listed below. We cannot, however, guaran-

tee results of these products.

»Brasso, Polish Plus by KelKem, Cook Top Clean

Creme by Elco, White Oﬀ by Rutland, Turtle Wax

Do not clean the glass while it is hot

• Always securely replace the windows and the barrier

screen before lighting (see next page).

• If broken, glass panes may only be replaced as a

complete window unit as supplied by the manufac-

turer.

• If the barrier screen becomes damaged, it must only

be replaced with the same model and version barrier

from Valor.

Cleaning other parts

• Clean the steel trims with mild soap and warm water.

Any alcohol/solvent-based cleaner may weaken and

damage the coating.

• Clean the barrier screens by dusting with a soft

brush.

• Clean the ﬁ rebox ceramic fuel bed and walls by

dusting them with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.

Dust and soot can also be removed from the burner

and logs using after removing the ceramic logs.

Minor amount of soot developing on logs is common

but soot that builds up, falls oﬀ and accumulates

indicates that the burner needs adjustment or the

logs may be installed correctly—see Checking pilot

and burner ﬂ ames on page 16 or ﬁ replace's

Installation Manual for proper log placement.

When cleaning, make sure that no particles are

brushed into the slots of the burner.

Log/Coals/Rocks position

Logs/Coals/Rocks position is important in your Valor

ﬁreplace because it can optimize the beauty of the

ﬂame and the combustion eﬃciency of your ﬁreplace.

To reinstall the logs/coals/rocks after cleaning or

other ﬁreplace maintenance, refer to your ﬁreplace's

Installation Manual for speciﬁc instructions on how

to place them for optimal operation. If you are not

comfortable performing this task, please contact

your dealer.

Caution

Choking Hazard! Make sure the fireplace area is

clear of firebed small particles to avoid ingestion

by small children. Vacuum thoroughly around

the fireplace area after cleaning.

WARNING

Risk of severe burns! The glass windows

are very hot during operation. Ensure the

ﬁ replace and glass have cooled oﬀ before

touching them.

frame as indicated.

WARNING

For safety purposes, make sure the

barrier screen is re-installed on the

ﬁ replace front after maintenance.

8. Re-install the barrier screen on the trim.

Typical ﬂ ame appearance

The pilot light and burner ﬂames should be checked

periodically. Check after the ﬁre has been on for at least

30 minutes. The pilot ﬂame must cover the tip of the

thermocouple probe. The main burner ﬂame pattern will

vary depending on the type of installation and climatic

conditions.

Performance of propane gas ﬁreplaces may be aﬀected by

the quality of commercial gas supplied

in your area.

The ﬁreplace area must always be kept clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline and other ﬂammable vapors

and liquids.

Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to ensure that

it is not obstructed by snow, trees, bushes, leaves, or other

objects.

Inpect the vent system regularly. We recommend at least

once a year.

Frequently asked questions

Question Answer

What if my ﬁ replace won't

turn on?

If you have followed all instructions for your remote control or wall switch

(see page 9, or pages 21-24) and your ﬁreplace still won't turn on, the

batteries located inside the wall switch kit may be low and need replacing.

See page 11 for instructions on how to replace the batteries.

If the ﬁreplace still won't turn on after that, call your dealer for further

information. Your ﬁreplace may require service by a qualiﬁed service

technician. Visit valorﬁreplaces.com/contact for a list of dealers near you.

I've just started my ﬁ replace

for the ﬁ rst time, what is

that smell?

When operating your ﬁreplace for the ﬁrst time, some vapors may

be released due to the burning of curing compounds used during

manufacturing. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the ﬂames

to be the full height of the ﬁrebox, or even slightly higher, for the ﬁrst few

hours of operation. This is perfectly normal. See First Time Operation on

page 7 for more information.

When I operate the ﬁ replace,

why do I suddenly hear a

faster series of beeps than

usual?

This is an indication that the batteries in your ﬁreplace are getting critically

low (not the batteries in your remote control handset, but the batteries in

the battery holder under the ﬁrebox). See page 11 for instructions on how

to replace the batteries.

Why do I hear popping or

snapping noises?

As your ﬁreplace heats and cools with normal use, its metal parts will

expand and contract, which may cause some noise. This is perfectly

normal.

Why do I hear whirring

noises?

As you start or adjust your ﬁreplace's ﬂame, the control valve motor turns

to adjust the settings. This is perfectly normal.

How do I clean my ﬁ replace? See Cleaning your ﬁreplace on pages 13-15 for cleaning instructions to

keep your ﬁreplace looking great.

There is condensation on

the inside of the glass, is this

okay?

This is normal when the ﬁreplace ﬁrst turns on, and will disappear

naturally when the ﬁreplace heats up.

There is a white ﬁ lm on the

inside of the glass, is this

okay?

This happens due to composition of the gas from your supplier. A by-

product of the combustion process in a gas ﬁreplace is a mineral which

can appear as a white ﬁlm on the ceramic glass window of your appliance.

Clean as soon as possible (when the ﬁreplace is cool) so it does not bake

onto the glass with time and become permanent. See pages 13-15 for

cleaning instructions.

When I start my ﬁ replace,

the ﬂ ame is blue or

transparent, is this normal?

This is normal, your ﬂame will take on a more yellow/orange appearance

as the ﬁreplace heats up.

Frequently asked questions

Question Answer

When I start my ﬁ replace,

the ﬂ ame is dirty or black, is

this normal?

No. This is possibly caused by a blocked opening in the burner which can

be cleaned by vacuuming it. See pages 13-15 for cleaning instructions, and

call your dealer if the problem persists after cleaning.

After running for some

time, my ﬁ replace has

soot gathering on the

logs, panels, or roof, is this

normal?

Minor amounts of soot developing on logs is common, but soot

that builds up, falls oﬀ, and accumulates indicates the burner needs

adjustment, or the logs may have been installed incorrectly. Contact your

dealer for remedies to excessive sooting.

Where can I purchase parts

for my ﬁ replace?

Any of our Valor dealers are able to order parts or provide ﬁeld service.

Please contact your dealer - see page 3 - or visit valorﬁreplaces.com/

contact for a list of dealers near you.

Who can service my

ﬁ replace?

We recommend having your ﬁreplace serviced before initial use, and at

least once every year by a qualiﬁed service technician. Contact our dealer,

quoting the model and serial numbers, if possible. These numbers can

be found on the ﬁreplace information card attached to the ﬁreplace - see

page 7.

Why does my pilot light go

out when I leave the house

for extended periods of

time?

Your ﬁreplace has a built-in safety shutoﬀ. If the ﬂame height does not

adjust for 7 days, the ﬁreplace will automatically turn the pilot oﬀ, and

would need to be turned on again using either the handset or wall switch.

Why doesn't the ﬁ replace

turn down when it goes

above the temperature I've

set?

Rather than constantly turning your ﬁreplace up and down, the

temperature feature of your remote control is designed to eﬃciently

give you a smooth maintenance of a comfortable temperature. With this

you may ﬁnd temperature ﬂuctuations beyond the set point to varying

degrees, depending on installation and room size.
